- W4211136641 abstract "Low back pain covers a spectrum of different types of pain (eg, nociceptive, neuropathic and nociplastic, or non-specific) that frequently overlap. The elements comprising the lumbar spine (eg, soft tissue, vertebrae, zygapophyseal and sacroiliac joints, intervertebral discs, and neurovascular structures) are prone to different stressors, and each of these, alone or in combination, can contribute to low back pain. Due to numerous factors related to low back pain, and the low specificity of imaging and diagnostic injections, diagnostic methods for this condition continue to be a subject of controversy. The biopsychosocial model posits low back pain to be a dynamic interaction between social, psychological, and biological factors that can both predispose to and result from injury, and should be considered when devising interdisciplinary treatment plans. Prevention of low back pain is recognised as a pivotal challenge in high-risk populations to help tackle high health-care costs related to therapy and rehabilitation. To a large extent, therapy depends on pain classification, and usually starts with self-care and pharmacotherapy in combination with non-pharmacological methods, such as physical therapies and psychological treatments in appropriate patients. For refractory low back pain, a wide range of non-surgical (eg, epidural steroid injections and spinal cord stimulation for neuropathic pain, and radiofrequency ablation and intra-articular steroid injections for mechanical pain) and surgical (eg, decompression for neuropathic pain, disc replacement, and fusion for mechanical causes) treatment options are available in carefully selected patients. Most treatment options address only single, solitary causes and given the complex nature of low back pain, a multimodal interdisciplinary approach is necessary. Although globally recognised as an important health and socioeconomic challenge with an expected increase in prevalence, low back pain continues to have tremendous potential for improvement in both diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Future research on low back pain should focus on improving the accuracy and objectivity of diagnostic assessments, and devising treatment algorithms that consider unique biological, psychological, and social factors. High-quality comparative-effectiveness and randomised controlled trials with longer follow-up periods that aim to establish the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of low back pain management are warranted.

The evidence gap in low back pain management strategiesIn their Seminar1 on low back pain, Nebojsa Nick Knezevic and colleagues state that “MRI…can contribute to higher rates of spine surgery and result in higher satisfaction rates”. Full-Text PDF The evidence gap in low back pain management strategies – Authors' replyWe thank Xing Du and Yunsheng Ou for bringing up the contentious issue of spine surgery for further discussion. However, we do not agree that the conclusions in our Seminar1 oppose evidence-based medicine; rather, we believe that they bolster the argument that there is insufficient evidence to draw firm conclusions. Full-Text PDF The evidence gap in low back pain management strategiesIn their Seminar,1 Nebojsa Nick Knezevic and colleagues concluded that surgery is more effective than conservative management in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis, and that decompression combined with fusion had no substantial benefit compared with decompression alone. We believe that this conclusion was not evidence-based, and could have the potential to prejudice the spine surgeon against the choice of treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis.
